Funny, but if it's being reported by Mother Jones ... I think the story isn't true. Nobody on the "collection level" would be willing to go to jail.

On the other hand, "collecting signatures" is a BUSINESS!

Did you know, when you see people standing outside of Walmart, asking you to sign one of their petitions ... is making 50-cents per signature?

As to "going to jail, now ...

There's an interesting book about Pelosi, and Boehner. Written by a conservative, Peter Schweizer. That says Boehner and Pelosi ... and others ... have been making stock market profits on the legislation they pass. And, they won't go to jail. Because you can't accuse a sitting member of congress of "insider trading."

As to a "recall of Walker," ... where you get ALL of Wisconsin to vote ... would give Walker another WIN!

That it's expensive to be in office? Sure. That's why the democraps are going ape shit ... at trying to get the republicans to lose.

Oh. And, while I'm at it. Occupy Wall Street is gonna bring some politicians down. Because more people are so unimpressed with the crap that passes for "news" ... As the media keeps trying to "bait" the public.

"Republicans are so concerned with voter fraud that they are willing to change voter laws that disenfranchise thousands of voters, yet congratulate themselves on voter fraud when they are the perps."

Where do you see Republicans as perps? Where do you see Republicans congratulating themselves?

Who do you see as a Republican? When did they register? Who did they last vote for? Have they voted before? Looking at the article, I seriously doubt any of them even left their house, much less destroy 20K signatures. But you say they have done this? When? Where? How do you know? Are we to assume anything on facebook is to be considered fact? Or are you abusing a strawman?

These obviously aren't serious people,but as I read the statute it isn't clear to me that collecting and then destroying signatures would count as a violation. There's nothing fraudulent about their destruction. Their fraud would be in the collection, and there's no law against fraudulently collecting signatures one doesn't intend to use.

I wonder who brought the United Wisconsin recall website down with a DDoS attack tonight?"

Uh, the dumbfucks who want to recall apparently.

"Wow, there sure is a lot of excitement to get the recall going. Due to a surge in traffic we have been forced to scale back our site," the message said. "But no worries, recall petitions will be available" at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday."

"Allie said...Curious George, give your fellow conservatives credit for being able to think on their own, they don't need you to "explain" it to them.

There is a HISTORY of Republican monkey business, so it stands to reason that it would not be a surprise if this practice continued in the future, now go eat your banana, like good little monkey."

You state that you don't know if your vote counted, you are asked if you meant "the SC election", and you say even longer ago (2002). Your link has info regarding 2002 that has nothing to do with voting.

"Something stinks to high heaven in Wisconsin. This may take the Justice Department to clean this up.

Karoli adds:

There's more. In 2006, she had some difficulty with absentee ballots. In 2006 again, we have her using the exact same excuse for why she accidentally reported one candidate ahead when the other one really was. Seems she moved data into the wrong column. We've heard that one before, haven't we? In 2007 she blamed touch screen voting machines for flipping a school board election result. The margin? One vote.

In 2004, she had another "oopsie moment" and sent out sample ballots instructing voters to vote for her favorite candidate. Also in 2004, incorrect ballots went to voters in two different districts, so that 83 votes were cast for the wrong candidates. And it seems that close races are something common in Waukesha County."

Garage even read about the supposed "DDOS" attack on United Wisconsin's website over at the Kos kid site. But if he had read JSOnline, he would find that the crash was caused by an uptick in volume due to the start of the recall drive.

Are their tactics legal? Can we use our concealed carry tools to wipe out those who would destroy our State and Nation? Nasty, horrible, little people with pea sized intellects lead to slaughter by the Gods of Greed that control our nation and own our politicians. I fear for my children.

But if he had read JSOnline, he would find that the crash was caused by an uptick in volume due to the start of the recall drive.

Actually the JSOnline blog entry is reporting only what the message on the alleged hacked and/or defaced website reads. The WISDEMS and United Wisconsin are saying it's was DDoS'ed. It should be fairly easy to prove I would think.

With Daily Kos and now PolitiScoop spreading the cyber attack story, I am more inclined to believe that we are witnessing Democrat politics as usual, scamming liberal nose-ring followers to properly stir the pot.

How can I fight back against the recall legally? Is all I can do sit back and wait for them to get their 540,000 signatures? It is annoying that I, as part of the fiscally conservative side (more moderate socially), cannot do anything but wait while they show on the news these other groups giddily sign their petitions at 12:01 am. I don't agree with everything Walker has done, but I don't think he deserves a recall. And we the people don't deserve another round of $80 million dollars spent on this campaign - money along with the previous recall that could have been used to actually fill the budget gap...sigh... But, hey, it's not the recall petition signers money - entitlement works in many mysterious ways.
